Paradox Intervention Beispiele

Author: Thomas Bieth

The paradoxical intervention is a systemic therapy technique that shakes stuck perspectives and communication patterns to allow problem-solving. Paradoxical intervention may also be used in coaching. For this, a good coach-client relationship is a prerequisite. As a coach, I assist teams, individuals, and organizations in advancing decision-making processes or changes.

Paradoxical interventions include treating the same problem that the person needs to overcome. It’s a complex concept often equated with reverse psychology. Accordingly, the behavior viewed as inappropriate is not as historically battled but immediately embraced, even exaggeratedly promoted. The purpose of this approach is to use exaggeration to make systemic participants aware of the paradoxical nature of problem behavior. I work with systematic approaches to my clients ' issues and by using resource orientation, I shorten the sense of possibility.

I am a certified "Systemic Coach" according to the framework guidelines of the Systemic Society, Berlin and the center for Systemic Research and Consulting Heidelberg. I am the proud dad of two great kids. As a coach, I recommend you do something crazy to rearrange the stalemate arguments. Paradoxical intervention in raising children, for example, when your child cries out and does not keep quiet.

  • Open a window and encourage your child to yell louder,
  • Start a song, or recite a poem.
  • Just yell and scream.

If the child does not want to dress up.

  • Declare day for kids hay barefoot and go to the car without warning.
  • Bring him to your kindergarten in pajamas.

What do you do with a child who eats nothing but pasta? He is offered only pasta from morning until night until he can't see them anymore.

Your 4-year-old resists brushing his or her teeth, so he or she has told they are not allowed and may end up doing it out of spite.

The client is afraid of failure so the therapist asks the client not to do anything. During the first meeting, a specific position and target concept for the coaching should take place with me. Selected issues where I serve as a coach for the clients are Realignment, Consultation, Supervision, goal setting, Life Coaching, Decision-making, Professional Coaching, and Overload.

As a consultant, my focus is on seeking implementable solutions for the specific tasks involved. As part of the counseling, my clients receive specific recommendations for action and proposed solutions. I am a certified Project Management Specialist by the Project Management Institute. I assist teams, people, and organizations in the advancement of decision-making processes or changes.

In general, paradoxical intervention is psychotherapeutic methods that are in apparent contradiction with clinical goals, but which are actually intended to achieve those objectives. A paradoxical intervention is a measure in which the patient is deliberately prescribed a problematic behavior or symptom of a disease as a means of overcoming exactly that behavior or symptoms.

Paradoxical intervention may also be used in coaching. For this, a good coach-client relationship is a prerequisite. As a coach, I assist teams, individuals, and organizations in advancing decision-making processes or changes. I work with systematic approaches to my clients ' issues and by using resource orientation, I shorten the sense of possibility.
